This page avoids major plot turns, twists, and ending details. It’s designed to help first-time viewers decide if this movie is right for them.What counts as a spoiler can vary by viewer.
The documentary helps us rediscover the life and figure of the Basque sculptor through testimonies from those closest to him: his children, friends, and family. From a biographical point of view, the documentary takes as its starting point the sculptor's adolescence, a time when his life was transformed by a sports injury that forced him to change course. From a poetic perspective, Juan Barrero tells us how Chillida came to achieve the full meaning of life and how we can still appreciate this in his work, a consistency that began in his early days with iron metallurgy and ended with international recognition.
